General description
Coenzyme Q9 (Ubiquinone-9; Ubi-9) is a 9 isoprenyl group member of a family of ubiquinones that share a quinine chemical group but differ in the number of isoprenyl chemical subunits in their tail. The CoQ compounds are lipid soluble components of cell membranes.
Application
Coenzyme Q9 (Ubiquinone-9; Ubi-9) may be used in the study of ubiquinones in vivo and in vitro. Coenzyme Q9 may be used as a reference compound in analytic procedures that monitor specific ubiquinone levels under various physiological and pathological conditions and in food-stocks.
Coenzyme Q9 has been used to investigate its interference in the detection of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) by fluorescent spectrophotometer (FS-ECA). It has also been used as an analyte in chromatographic analysis of different biological samples that correspond to different genetic conditions.
Biochem/physiol Actions
The coenzyme Q (CoQ) can perform multiple functions such as electron and proton transport. CoQ9 performs similar functions to CoQ10 as the native CoQ in Caenorhabditis elegans. CoQ9 as well as other CoQ molecules may have an impact on cell life-span and these molecules are seeing increase usage in such studies.
Packaging
